My plan had been to finish up all of my work for the semester (which ends April 25) by the baby's due date (April 16). But she came three weeks early, so.... new plan!

Fortunately, I feel good and have lots of help. So I'm going to attempt to go to class tonight (but maybe just for an hour), write a paper by Saturday, and go to class on Saturday. I know I don't have to, but I kind of want to. Mostly, I want to bring her and show her off!

As for work, well, I'm officially unemployed right now. I guess April 1 began my maternity leave/ leave of absence/ termination (whatever you feel like calling it). If you'll recall I had a super-productive day at work the day my water broke, so I actually (mostly) left things in a good place. I still have my office to clean out, but I probably take care of that in a couple of weeks.

I'm giving myself some time to figure out this new balance...but so far, I think I really like it.

Whatcha been doing? What have your days been like? How much sleep are you getting at a time? Is she still sleeping more than anything else? (your crazy busy life exhausted her even while in the womb!)I agree - it all sounds great, and that's fabulous! You are making current and future mommies jealous. :)

wow! your baby is type A (ontime, under budget). and you are still type A (paper? class? within a week of the hospital? no problem!)

thanks for leaving us not-yet moms with huge shoes to fill ;) just kidding. i'm thrilled to hear you so boldly going where you have not gone before. it gives me hope that babies change life, but don't change one's self.
